For cases presenting with hypotension accompanied by headache and irregular fever, the treatment recommendations are as follows:
1. Postural adjustment: Choose a supine or seated position, appropriately elevate the limbs to facilitate venous blood return and increase circulating blood volume.
2. Lifestyle modification: Avoid prolonged熬夜 (staying up late) and fatigue; engage in moderate outdoor activities such as swimming or jogging to improve the cardiovascular system.
3. Dietary adjustment: Increasing salt intake may help raise blood pressure, but should not be excessive. Maintain adequate hydration.
4. Avoid sudden standing: Rise slowly from a seated or lying position to reduce the risk of orthostatic hypotension.
5. Medication: Doctors may prescribe specific drugs to help control blood pressure and relieve symptoms, depending on the underlying cause.
6. Conventional antipyretic treatment: Use anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications such as indomethacin or para-aminosalicylic acid derivatives.
7. Etiological treatment: The cause of the fever should be identified, such as bacterial or viral infection, and treated accordingly with antibiotics or antiviral therapy.
